Events make up much of our lived experience, and the perceptual mechanisms that
represent events in experience have pervasive effects on action control, language use, and …

Experiences are stored in the mind as discrete mental units, or 'events,'which influence—
and are influenced by—attention, learning, and memory. In this way, the notion of an …

The human brain is tightly coupled to the world through its sensory‐motor systems—but it
also spends a lot of its metabolism talking to itself. One important function of this intrinsic …

The past decade has seen a rapid growth of cognitive and brain research focused on visual

Event segmentation theory posits that people segment continuous experience into discrete
events and that event boundaries occur when there are large transient increases in …

Events—the experiences we think we are having and recall having had—are constructed;
they are not what actually occurs. What occurs is ongoing dynamic, multidimensional …

Organizing the continuous flow of experiences into meaningful events is a crucial
prerequisite for episodic memory. Prediction error and event segmentation both play …

Individuals organize the evolving stream of events in their environment by partitioning it into
discrete units. Event segmentation theory (EST) provides a cognitive explanation for the …

Sounds are generated by interactions between objects in the world and carry information
about the sound's sources and the objects' sound-generating actions. This dual nature of …

This book puts cognition back at the heart of the language learning process and challenges
the idea that language acquisition can be meaningfully understood as a purely linguistic …
